Double-Dactyls

A double-dactyl (also called "D-dactyl" in short) is a usually humorous, rigidly structured verse form[1], which has been intensively used for a while by a number of OTT members. The definition and guidelines for an OTT double-dactyl were set suggested by jjjdavidson in NP655. It went on for many Newpages, with reprises on NP848, NP1038 and NP1713 due to papal decrees. Double-dactyls have become one of the most characteristic and most cherished forms of OTT poetry.

´: Though from my quick experiments I'm not 100% sure if I can interpret the prosody information it gives well enough to correctly identify double dactyls. We'll see².
AABCDDEC: Sorry, I didn't reread the rules for this, just sang it in my head in the tune I have for some reason ascribed to them.

On occasion, OTTers have introduced and even proposed or invented poem forms derived from the double-dactyl by replacing the dactyls with other metrical feet, with the meter of the shorter last line of each quatrain adapted to match.
